Kateryna Tretiakova

- What motivated you to take part in our project?

- I was moved by the idea that something I was creating during the war could be systematised and be a part of collective artistic expression.

- How did the war in Ukraine affect you personally?

- I left the flat I rent in Kyiv and lost my job. Now I am separated from my family.

- Tell about your project partner. What is common between you? And what are the differences that make you complement each other?

- We both have stressful circumstances in our home countries and are separated from our relatives. While talking to Amira I feel that she doesn't give up and stays active in living her life and investing in society as she can. We share at the same time different experiences, as Amira is from Algeria and I am from Ukraine. We have different cultures, traditions, histories and political situations. That gives me an opportunity to learn more about the world and get to know different personal stories.

- A few words about your joint work. Why did you decide to implement this idea?

- Amira and i got an interest in discovering the emotions and body in art under the influence of world circumstances.

- What would you like to wish the audience of the project?

- I wish the audience to open up to new experiences and emotions, look deep into themselves and let the art does what it was created for.

- The first thing you will do when the war is over.

- I will enjoy the view from panoramic windows.
